tcp: connect() from bound sockets can be faster

2015-05-27T18:30:10+00:00

__inet_hash_connect() does not use its third argument (port_offset) if socket was already bound to a source port. No need to perform useless but expensive md5 computations. Reported-by: Crestez Dan Leonard Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer

2015-04-13T20:40:05+00:00

Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when memory was expensive and machines had a single processor. This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies (Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.) We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior. Tested: On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1 on the target (lpaa24) Before patch : lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 419594 lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 437171 While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies. lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2 lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2 After patch : About 90% increase of throughput : lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 810442 lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0 800992 And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even if network utilization is 90% higher : lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23 ... 1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.064/0.360/0.042 ms Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

inet: get rid of last __inet_hash_connect() argument

2015-03-19T02:00:35+00:00

We now always call __inet_hash_nolisten(), no need to pass it as an argument. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ipv6: get rid of __inet6_hash()

2015-03-19T02:00:35+00:00

We can now use inet_hash() and __inet_hash() instead of private functions. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

inet: add IPv6 support to sk_ehashfn()

2015-03-19T02:00:34+00:00

Intent is to converge IPv4 & IPv6 inet_hash functions to factorize code. IPv4 sockets initialize sk_rcv_saddr and sk_v6_daddr in this patch, thanks to new sk_daddr_set() and sk_rcv_saddr_set() helpers. __inet6_hash can now use sk_ehashfn() instead of a private inet6_sk_ehashfn() and will simply use __inet_hash() in a following patch.

netns: constify net_hash_mix() and various callers

ipv6: White-space cleansing : gaps between function and symbol export

2014-08-25T05:37:52+00:00

This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses coding style issues as detected by checkpatch. Both objdump and diff -w show no differences. This patch removes some blank lines between the end of a function definition and the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro in order to prevent checkpatch warning that EXPORT_SYMBOL must immediately follow a function.

ipv6: White-space cleansing : Line Layouts

2014-08-25T05:37:52+00:00

This patch makes no changes to the logic of the code but simply addresses coding style issues as detected by checkpatch. Both objdump and diff -w show no differences. A number of items are addressed in this patch: * Multiple spaces converted to tabs * Spaces before tabs removed. * Spaces in pointer typing cleansed (char *)foo etc. * Remove space after sizeof * Ensure spacing around comparators such as if statements.

net: use reciprocal_scale() helper

inet: convert inet_ehash_secret and ipv6_hash_secret to net_get_random_once

2013-10-19T23:45:35+00:00

Initialize the ehash and ipv6_hash_secrets with net_get_random_once. Each compilation unit gets its own secret now: ipv4/inet_hashtables.o ipv4/udp.o ipv6/inet6_hashtables.o ipv6/udp.o rds/connection.o The functions still get inlined into the hashing functions. In the fast path we have at most two (needed in ipv6) if (unlikely(...)). Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
